(6 Jun 2012) STORY
Britain's Queen Elizabeth II visited her husband Prince Philip in hospital on Wednesday for the first time since he was admitted for a bladder infection on Monday.
Their son Prince Andrew also paid a visit. On leaving, Andrew said his father was "mending very well".
Officials said he will likely remain there for a few days to treat a bladder infection, an ailment that forced him to miss much of the celebration of his wife's 60 years on the throne.
Elizabeth arrived at the King Edward VII Hospital in central London hours after Buckingham Palace said Philip's condition had "improved considerably."
The palace added that the prince, who turns 91 on Sunday, was being treated with antibiotics and "is in good spirits."
It is not clear if Philip will be released in time for his birthday.
This past Sunday, he joined the queen on the River Thames in cold, blustery weather for a pageant in honour of Elizabeth's reign.
He was taken to the hospital on Monday, forcing him to miss several key events of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations, including a concert outside Buckingham Palace.
Philip, who is also known as the Duke of Edinburgh, is a former naval officer who married the queen in 1947.
His health remained robust through his 80s, but he has appeared frailer in recent years.
The prince spent four nights in the hospital over Christmas after suffering chest pains and underwent a successful coronary stent procedure.
